And let me make it clear that I'd much rather have Hilary making GBS threads up the Middle East than Trump, if I was forced to have the US poo poo up the Middle East.

At the most optimistic, Trump will gently caress it up so badly that people will finally lose their taste for expensive, perpetual war. But i don't know have that much faith in the American public.

This one, from about a month ago:

I read Chris Hedges articles on Truthdig, which posts Fish cartoons on a regular basis so I see most of his stuff passively. Unless there's something else like that buried in his archive somewhere, that's the most egregious one I've seen.

If the George W. Bush and the Iraq war couldn't do this I'm not sure anything can. How much more could he gently caress up?

The cutline on my first sketch for this cartoon read, �You just got x-rayed, searched, and groped� now you�re surprised we�re taking your seat?!�

But I changed it when I read that United CEO Oscar Munoz said the airline �re-accomodated� the lucky passengers.

CNBC reports Munoz was named communicator of the year by a public relations group in March.

Let this be proof that Rall is so smug and lovely that he'll drive people to back legitimately bad policy.

This is your regular reminder that Ted Rall really only has a a career because he's someone conservatives can point to and say that liberals are smug and lovely, and he is simultaneously too smug and lovely to realize this fact.

But neoliberalism is an actual (bad) thing (and mostly gone from the Democratic Party), not just "anything the Democrats do that I dislike." Was Obama NOT neoliberal when he decided not to bomb Assad?

Of course, Rall absolutely intends it as a slur, so I guess I'm wasting my time. :negative:

Ramirez is a party shill, not a Trumpist. Watching him repeatedly try to anticipate when the GOP is going to distance themselves fron Trump, before they inevitably fall back in line and he has to do a whiplash 180, has been one small pleasure in the nightmare world we now inhabit.

If you accept to be the face for a walking PR disaster like Trump, you have to be supremely confident in your abilities as a spokesperson. Dunning-Kruger is there to explain that if you're supremely confident in your abilities, it's because you're just too ignorant to realize that you're completely out of your depth. Therefore, anyone who works for Donald Trump is a complete moron, Q.E.D.

My general observation is the less Mr. Fish a Mr. Fish is - the better. I like their art a lot. Words? Eh.

Motherfucker makes me laugh every time.

Edit: Hmm, though looking back at some more it seems like most of my favorite pieces of art are actually just copied/images with filters on them. The guillotine one's art is kinda meh. But I remember the self portrait of a kkk/captain America being really good?

Because Trump is a pathetic old fatass and it would hurt his petty fascist dreams to draw him even vaguely accurately.
